Xmas Greetings from the Spleef Nebula

Official Bender Hat

It's huge, squishy, and was very cheap to make! Very happy with how this turned out! Didn't have a lot of money for a gift for my friend this year, so I made him a custom giant brain slug plush. I'm really rusty at sewing so I was pleasantly surprised.
(The friend in question doesn't browse imgur so I figured it's safe to share :) )

Your Xmas plans need to include walking around not wearing a helmet.

Vote Brain Slug Party 2016!

Yay DIY Brain Slug! For anyone interested in making his/her own, here is the tutorial for the pattern I modified:

And here is the pattern itself:

I used a $3 felt throw blanket from Wally World. I modified the pattern as follows:
- made 6 solid body pieces
- attached the eye on top of body piece, turning it sideways
- doubled the size of the pattern
- added doodlyboppers (aka antennas)
Adding the doodlybops was the trickiest part. I stuffed them first, then sewed them into the seams so they are completely attached. The effect is great, they're very floppy :)
